I started out on my own with no lessons but later in years I learned there were a lot I did not know, So I have taken Classes in Nashville, three times, and frommy quilt club. I do not waist as much material as I first did, and I had cardboard, templets, My Mother and Grandmother were quilters and hand quilted our quilts. I realy do love to quilt and give themto people that did not expect them.
